Ginny's footsteps echoed off of the old stone laid walls. The air was filled with a musty smell, a smell of age. Water seeped from an undetermined spot on the ceiling, which dribbled down the mossy wall and made a small splash on the already wet floor. Ginny didn't care, nor did Remus. They both walked in silence. Ginny, with a purpose and Remus, like a dog at her heels. They walked, on down the long tunnel for what seemed like minutes even though it was, when all of a sudden Ginny came to a stop. Remus who had been trailing behind her, and was thinking about Ginny, didn't realize she had stopped.
He kept on walking and he ended up colliding wit her. From the force of the blow, Ginny was pushed forward through the door that stood before her and fell out on her face into a dimly lit room. Remus landed beside her and he looked around. To their right was the main door, and to their left there was a couch and a small end table. Surrounding them on all of the walls were bookshelves after bookshelves. It took him a while to realize where he was. He, They, were in his secret hideaway. The place where he went when he needed peace and quiet. How could she have known where this place was? She was walking with such confidence, knew the password the old hag wanted. Remus couldn't stop his brain from spitting out questions and mysteries.
"H-How d-did you f-find out a-about this place?" Remus stuttered shocked. "A time for everything and everything it's place, return me now through time and space," Ginny repeated in the same monotone she used with the statue. "What?" "I'm sorry," Ginny stuttered. "What did you say?" "How did you find this place?" "I...I'm not everything I seem to be." Ginny said looking down at the hard mahogany floor, while Remus sat there stunned. He didn't know what to think. He knew that there was something strange, no that was harsh, different about her, but did he really want to know what it was? An awkward silence fell over them as they sat and stared at the floor.
All of a sudden Ginny felt a bit claustrophobic. As the feeling grew she felt a warm breath on her neck. Turning ever so slightly, Ginny came face to face with Remus Lupin. They were too close, way too close. She could hear his heart beating faster and faster, feel his breath on her skin. Goose pimples arose on her arms. Without realizing it, she had moved closer, to him. Her stomach twisted and her heart yearned for him to kiss her. As if reading her mind, Remus, shakily, nervously, and slowly leaned in for the kiss. Why the hell am I so nervous? Come on Moony old pal, you kissed tons of girls why should this one be any different? He thought. Ginny leaned in, eyes closed, ready for him to kiss her.
As their lips touched, there was a BANG on the door, which made the two teens jump. "Dammit Peeves!" Remus roared at the sound as he pull away.. "I'm gonna kill you!" Ginny looked stunned, at the volume of his voice, and when he looked back at her he didn't need to apologize. It was written all over his face. "I'm so sorry, Ginny, I didn't mean to scare you." Ginny nodded. "That's ok, my mum does that all the time with my brothers," Remus nodded, still not very sure. "Well, why don't we get going. Peeves is bound to come back...oh yeah, I forgot to tell you. He's the school poltergeist. He loves to get in trouble," He explained as Ginny smirked and shook her head. "Anyway, he'll be back soon, and since it's," he looked at his watch, "6:35, we should get down the Great Hall for dinner." He told her.
Ginny nodded in disappointment, for she was not going to be able to kiss him, but then thought that it was for the best. She stood up, and reached her right arm out for Remus's. Remus gladly took it, looking a bit dissapointed himself, and helped pull himself up. The two walked toward the big heavy wooden door, opened it, and dissappeared down the long hallway.
